Lyrics

Español

Gime, gime el viento y es un lánguido lamento su canción de abril. Gime y el murmullo de las hojas trae voces del ayer feliz. Has vuelto, dulce bien, has vuelto junto a mí y el aire me acaricia como un beso. Gime, gime el viento retornando aquel momento del adiós fatal. Y un ansia de gritar se troca en llanto y tan sólo sé gemir: ¡amor... amor...!

English · machine translation

Moans, moans the wind and is a languid lament its April song. It moans and the murmur of the leaves brings voices of the happy yesterday. You have returned, sweet well, you have come back to me and the air caresses me like a kiss. Moan, moan the wind returning that moment of the fatal goodbye. And a longing to scream turns into tears and I only know how to moan: love... love... love...!
